   Why are people interested in #guix ?

   Declarative configuration (80%) and it's cousin Reproducibility (70%) were top choices which come from the #Nix heritage.

   "Scheme, Guile and Lisp are cool" (72%) was second. This seems a different trend - interest in #lisp, #scheme perhaps driven by approaches in langs like #javascript - also some influence from #emacs community

   Then came #FSF #GNU and #FOSS interest in Free Software (43%). Then #linux package management!
